Going Off-Road, At Least a Little!

June 3, 2019 By: Summer Samba51 Comments

somali cat on leash out back

Even though the whole weekend was gray and overcast, it wasn’t too cold, so I got to go out back for a while. And of course my human used the opportunity to take photos.

She took some nice close ups of me. I was patient (mostly) and let her.

somali cat goes off-road

This time, my human even let me go off-road for a while! Usually she makes me stay on the concrete pathways. It’s on a steep grade and she doesn’t want me (or herself) to go tumbling down the hill.

Of course I wanted to go farther but my human said not this time. I was making lots of happy paws in the dirt.

I even made happy paws on the rocks!

Then, instead of going back up to the patio right away, I jumped on the little wall near the wooden steps.

somali cat wishing she could stay out longer

Frankly, I could have stayed out longer but my human wanted to go back inside.

    Summer you are so fortunate that you experienced a harness and leash early in life. I know Sage would just love to go outside with Dad P and explore and probably Katie too. I might even like it but when Mom L tried to put a harness on me I freaked out. Hard to teach an old cat new tricks. Purrs

    You know Summer, SOME cats want to lay
    on the ground and roll back and forth when
    they go outside. I see you aren’t into that.
    It’s a good thing as that would require a
    bath and then would probably cut down
    on your trips outside! Good for you!

    If your human is like TW, she always says “she has ‘things to do'” as if they’re more important than me. At least you got to do a fun thing.

    You are such a beautiful model, and pose so well. I am glad that your mom let you explore a bit more. I love digging in the garden, and sniffing smells. Especially near the trees and shrubs. I get to go outside every day and exploring is the best thing.

    Can you tell your mom too that the best times for cats is either early in the morning or close to dusk. In our neighborhood that is when all the kitty cats are out and about. We all like to patrol our properties then and check out for intruders.

      We do go out late in the day – this outing was after dinner! But we have to be careful too, as if it gets too late, the coyotes start coming out!
